    Good Job. 15K is a good amount of advertising. On Amazon you should spend heavily on amazon ppc, and you need to get reviews. How many reviews do your competitors have? What is your conversion rate like? On shopify- your website is very important, you need one that people inherently trust. This...

    We have a 10k + email list that we give an offer too. If you don't have an email list you pretty much have to do a giveaway using one of those websites.

    We did a lot of google searches, and then talked to about 30 manufacturers until we figured out exactly what we were looking for. The hardest part is finding what exactly you are looking for a manufacturer. For example most people need an OTC manufacturer and they don't even know it!

    What actually works for Facebook Ads. My own experience!

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Facebook ads has been a topic of controversy, especially in the field of eCommerce, for the past couple of years, so I will shed some light on it. I've done Facebook Ads for the past two years and I have been one of the fortunate ones to have had success with it, but not without a lot of...

    Hey Fox, Great Question. My first answer is it depends on what your goals are. I want to build a 9 Figure Business so we put back all our profit. I'm also young so I don't have many expenses so I can take more risk. Basically for us we spend 15-20% of our revenue on marketing. This is seen as...

    Hey! Basically what you need to understand is Amazon FBA and business itself is a "dog eat dog" world. Going and telling everyone what your product is on an open forum opens yourself up to competition and counterfeit sellers (I have experienced this before). The Product is only 10% of your...

    It took 6 months for us to go to formulation to actual production. He formulated the products at home based on ingredients that he researched, then tried it on his patients, made a few changes to it, sent it to a formulation company, then we got a manufacturer. He knew it was a perfect product...

    Unfortunately, I can't tell you what product we are selling. All I can tell you is that we are not competing against other Amazon FBAers, we are competing against actual brands in retail. We used Amazon as a platform to establish are brand, the endgame is retail for us. You can ask more...

    I wish I knew the importance of amazon ppc. I started doing Amazon before the whole ppc craze was in full effect. PPC was the main reason why I was able to succeed in a very tough market. No we manufacture in US.
